Arianna's point of view

I wake up and go to get out of bed, But I'm blocked by Daryl. I poke his arm continuously until he rolls over and out of bed.

I climb out of the bunk and pull on my combat boots. I grab my red leather jacket and head to Hershel's cell.

"Daddy woke up!" Beth says with a smile.

I look over and see that he is in fact alive and awake. I walk over and kneel next to him.

"Thank you for saving my life for my daughter's." Hershel says, Smiling.

"I wasn't the one who hacked off your leg, Rick did. I'm not the one to thank." I say, Patting his arm.

"We got some crutches for him and he said he wants to start walkin' today. That okay with you?" Lori asks. I nod.

"Yeah, Just take it easy. By the way, Lori?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"Don't push yourself either. If you put too much pressure on yourself, Your baby'll decide it wants to come out." I say, Taking the crutches from her.

We walk slowly outside, Accompanying Hershel. We go down the steps and across the basketball course.

We stop for a moment and let Hershel catch his breath. For a second, Everything felt normal.

But even walkers ruin thoughts.

I grabbed Lori and Carl and ran inside. Lori stopped for a second.

"Mom! Whats wrong?" Carl asks. Lori holds her stomach. I suddenly realize whats happening as I see the in between Loris legs darken.

"Carl, Your becoming a brother." I say, Wrapping an arm around Loris waist and grabbing her arm with my free hand.

Carl finds us an empty room and quickly searches it. I lay Lori down.

"I gotta push." Lori says as she quickly pulls her jeans and underwear off.

"Okay, But-"

Blood splattered my arm.

"Lori! Stop pushin', Somethings happenin'!" I tell her. "Lori. The baby is twisted up. I gotta do a c-section." I explain, Taking my knife out.

"Oh my god I'm gonna die." She says. I shake my head.

"No. No ones dyin' today. Not on my watch." I try to say.

After Lori said goodbye to Carl, I cut across her old c-section scar. I grabbed the baby. It wasnt crying. I tapped on its back and tapped its feet until it cried. Carl gave me his jacket to wrap it in.

I walk out of the prison and see the group. Tears cloud my eyes and fight to escape. Daryl came forward and hugged me carefully, Not wanting to crush the new baby.

"Lori she-" Then I start crying. Tears slide down my cheeks and I start to shake.

"This baby needs formula now or she wont make it." Hershel says. Glenn and Maggie volunteers, Daryl goes as well.

Glenn ended up staying with us, Because Daryl obviously cant fit two people on his bike.

They arrive pretty quickly and Daryl emptied his bag, Getting Beth to make the formula. He then takes the baby from Carl and feeds her.

"Awe. What are ya gonna do, Name her Lil' ass kicker?" I ask him. Daryl chuckles. 

"Hell yeah I am." Daryl says.

The next day, We had to get more formula so I volunteer to go with Glenn. Before I leave, I turn to Daryl.

"I've lost Jess, I've lost Carol. I can't lose you too." I say, Placing a kiss on Daryl cheek. Then I get in the passengers seat next to Glenn.

We arrive at a baby store and walk in.

"Glenn, Grab that duck." I say with a smile.

"What?" He asks, Grabbing a basket.

"Grab that duck. A baby growing up in a prison is gonna need some toys." I say. He grabs the duck and puts it in my basket.

"I do formula, You do clothes and toys." Glenn says. I nod, Going to the clothes.

I grab three onesies and just as I was about to grab some candies for Carl, A walker grabs my ankle.

"Shit!" I holler. "Glenn!" I shout, Dropping my knife. He runs in, Stabbing the walker in the brain. He picks up my knife and gives it back to me. "Thanks."

"Your welcome."

We walk out of the store and chat for a bit. I stop in my tracks when I hear a gun click. We turn around, Taking out our guns and pointing them at the man.

"Merle?" Glenn asks.

"Holy shit! Wow!" The man puts his gun down.

"You made it." Glenn says, With disappointment in his voice. The man moves forward. I put the safety on.

"Back the hell off!" I shout.

"Okay! Okay, Honey. I just want you to tell me; Is my brother alive?"

"Yeah. He's alive." Glenn says. The man then asks us to take him to our prison, Then he goes to explaining how he got his hand contraption.

"Well, We'll tell Daryl you're here, And then you stay here and we'll bring him to you." Glenn says. I look at Glenn, Then the man.

"Daryl's your brother!?" I ask. The man nods.

"Yeah he is. Who's he to you?" He asks.

"I prefer not to answer that question." I tell him. Glenn then punches Merle, Then Merle punches him back, Then takes my revolver and puts it to my head.

"I'll take you to my place. You're driving, China man. Make a mistake and this pretty little lady's head is gone." Merle says.

I get in the vehicle and sit in the back with Merle next to me, Still holding my revolver to my head.

For the first time in my life, I've felt fear. Not for me, Put to Merle's people. They have no idea what's coming for them.
